Bioengineering applications for enhancing prosthetic limbs [mini review]

Abstract

This mini report focuses on the utilization of bioengineering in enhancing prosthetic limbs. In recent times, a combination of technical advancements has significantly improved the comfort, efficiency, and realism of artificial limbs compared to earlier iterations. Future advancements in this field are expected to rely on the interplay of three influential factors: the demands expressed by amputees, progress in surgical and engineering techniques, and adequate healthcare funding necessary to support the development and implementation of technological solutions.
